The observed star formation rates of galaxies in the Local Universe suggests that they are replenishing their gas reservoir across cosmic time. Cosmological simulations predict that this accretion of fresh gas can occur in a hot or a cold…
Using a combined and consistently analysed GAMA, G10-COSMOS, and 3D-HST dataset we explore the evolution of the galaxy stellar-mass function over lookback times $t_{\rm L} \in \left[0.2,12.5\right] {\rm h^{-1}_{70} Gyr}$. We use a series of…
